Virtual Coaching and Personalized Menus for Losing Weight

Skinny fat is a phrase used to describe people who appear to be a normal weight, or thinner than normal, but are carrying a higher than normal percentage of body fat and less muscle mass. Following a poorly balanced menu plan, genetic factors, and relying too much on cardio exercises are common culprits. Unfortunately, when adults are more sedentary while sheltering in place, they are more likely to snack between meals and make poor food choices. These bad habits can lead to changes in body composition with more stored fat and too little muscle mass. A healthy weight loss strategy allows for the fact that muscle is less energy dense than fat. If you lose body fat and tone muscle mass, you will instantly look slimmer and healthy regardless of the number on the scale.

Fat Burning Tips to Jump Start Your Diet

When it comes to losing pandemic pounds, chances are you know what to do. The tougher question is how you do it, since one-size doesn’t fit everyone. Listed below are fat burning tips to jump start your weight loss efforts, such as:

• Limit Take Out & Delivery - It’s okay to support your local restaurants, in fact many are in dire need of your support to stay in business during the pandemic. However, be mindful of portion sizes as well as what you are eating. The dipping sauce that is to die for may be loaded with added sugars and salt.
• Develop Healthy Routines - Establishing routines helps you build healthy habits without struggling each day to figure out how and what to eat. The National Weight Control Registry says people who are most successful at keeping weight off, plan their day to ensure they stick to their routines.
• Watch Portion Sizes - Try to serve plates from the kitchen rather than following the traditional family style of eating. Second helpings are all too easy when the food is sitting in front of you. It is a hidden culprit that encourages mindless eating while negating food portion sizes.
• Set Realistic Goals - Remember what your life and waistline were like before the COVID-19 lockdown? If so, stop what you’ve been doing and start taking small but gradual steps to restore the realistic goals you had set before the coronavirus pandemic hit.
• Embrace Physical Activities - Stop binge watching cable news or streaming old movies and get your blood pumping. Try doing your housework while listening to playlist of fast paced music or set a time limit to sweep, vacuum and mop the floors.

In general, someone who is skinny fat needs to follow the same guidelines as anyone else who is trying to lose body fat. If you are not eating right, you won’t get rid of excess body fat and too much cardio exercise won’t do anything to help with the problem.
